Say you were making 60k a year and you know your market value is 100k, and your current contract keeps you at 60k, you'd want to be able to go to your employer and renegotiate the contract if that's the new incoming salary at your pay grade. He's been under paid by millions for him and his family for 2 years. He hasn't held out or ruffled feathers during a very shaky regime. He's taken 1 and 2 for the team and cost his family millions. He and his family should be set for this God given talent he's been blessed with. We are acting like he's asking for the stars and moon. The report is, could be right or wrong, but the report is 40 mill guaranteed. Suh gets 59, Watt gets 51, I would say it's fair talent and payment wise to pay him at that tier below. But if he is a tier below those 2, it's not by a ton. Get the deal done. He's a home grown talent. Why punish him And under pay him 2 more years? We are also up against the cap, why block up a huge cap number with a franchise tag? I think it's best for everyone to get a deal done.
